Children and young people are loved, safe and nurtured
This initiative, funded through Budget 2019, aims to reduce the severity and duration of trauma-related symptoms experienced by victims/survivors of sexual violence. There will be more funding for crisis support services for victims/survivors of sexual violence and their families and whānau. This will ensure services are available 24/7 at a level that meets current demand. Services will include specialist callout support, crisis counselling and crisis social work support.
Service development work, in consultation with providers, is underway along with planning for procurement of services.
